This week in Art, we learnt all about typography and applied our understanding to designing each letter of our names! Y6 Whales did a fantastic job of this and produced some really creative pieces of artwork! 

Today we have been learning about comparing amounts. We began by identifying which group had 'more', 'fewer' or 'the same'. We then moved onto creating our own amounts, demonstrating our understanding of key vocabulary. Some of us challenged ourselves further to verbally answer reasoning problems,…

This half term we have Yoga on a Monday. We have practiced lots of different jungle poses and have been building on creating a jungle story using them. We have perfected the parrot, tree and log pose! 

Today in computing we have started to use both hand to type on a keyboard. We all showed ur value of determination and made great progress.

Year 4 have been using charcoal to create a piece of art inspired by their class text of ‘The Lost Happy Ending’.

Today we have been talking about feelings and emotions. We linked this to the story of ‘The colour monster’. The children were then able to link the different colours to their feelings and emotions and were able to discuss how they feel today and why. 

This week, in Maths, we have been using our place value knowledge to find 10, 100, 1000, 10,000, and 100,000 more and less than a number.

This week in writing, Year 5 have been writing a character description based on their text, Rumaysa. We have been focussing on using high level vocabulary to describe.

Our Art topic is spirals! We have previously looked at the work of artist Molly Haslund and we were inspired to create our own spiral art. 

As we have focussed on sentence structure and the importance of punctuation, we have unscrambled sentences from Goldilocks and the Three Bears to write using finger spaces.

We have been working on the importance of sentence structure to include the correct punctuation. Today we have focused on capital letters - identifying and matching the upper case and lower case letters.

This week we have been representing numbers and amounts in a variety of ways. During this lesson Year One represented objects practically using counters or bears in a tens frame.
